I've put together a Royal Naval Sub-Lieutenant uniform, in standard green BD as was issues to the beach parties at D-Day, and I've a feeling that they marked helmets with their ranks on.

Does anyone have any pics of Naval helmets with markings on or any knowledge of them? Was it just front or front and back? What colours were they (some relics seem to be black, some are blue, some dark green.)

If anyone has any hints or clues - or any links to further info on the Naval Beach Parties at d-day, I'd be very grateful!
